THIRTY-FIVE THOUSAND SHORT.
MIR. Cooper Pays Treasurer Lemcke More Cash
and Gets Receipt in Full.

The counting of the cash turned over to State
Treasurer Lemcke by Mr.. Cooper, his predeces-
sor, was completed yesterday, and it was found
that the amount was $35 900 less than the official
statement regarding the condition of the funds
showed should be on hand. At 5 O'clock in the
afternoon, however Mr. Cooper paid over the
amount, having raised it at the banks and he
was given receipt in full by MIR. Lemcke.
Yesterday morning Dr. Harrison, president Of
the benevolent boards, called at the Auditor of
Of States Office for ware ut for the payment of
the January expenses Of the Insane Hospital,
amounting to $4,000, but he was informed by
Auditor Carr that there was not enough
money in the general fund to pay him.
He wanted to know what he
should do. "lf you can induce the Governor
repeated Mr. Carr, "to sign bond for the loan of
the 500, 900 credited to the State University en-
dowment fund to the general fund.- there will be
money enough to pay you" There is now only
about $4,000 in the general fund and, unless
the Governor makes the loan of the endowment
fund, the Auditor ard Treasurer will have to
suspend payment within three or four days.

Paying for Brain Labor.

New York Evening Post.
One Of the mysteries of the "Noble and Holy
Order of Knights of Labor is that, al
though they maintain that brain labor ought
not to be any better paid than hand labor, they
give high salaries to the men that rule the or
ganization. Powderly, for instance, Goes, or is
supposed to do, the kind of work which is done
by the president of corporation, or the
manager of factory, or the head of depart
ment of the government. but, instead of receiv-
ing sl8 week. or Whereabouts, which is what he
used to earn at his trade. he gets nearly 500 a
week, simply for thinking and writing. More
over, he has, at various times, published piteous
complaints about the way which he is
"oyerworked"-that is about the terrible
strain on his physical strength caused
by the magnitude Of his correspondence
and the multiplicity Of the Questions on which
he has to pass. Ali this seems to be an uncon-
scious but rather laughable confession that
there are other kinds of labor. and very severe
labor. too, than manual labor, and also that a
skilled brain-laborer, owing to the scarcity Of
the article, must necessarily command high
price. Ii men with Powderly's special talents
whatever they may be-abounded among TIE
Knights of course they would never think of
giving him IS, 900 year. Indeed, if they were
consistent they would only give him what he
earned when he worked with his hands.

SUSPECTED BY THE TAXPAYERS.
Why Evansville People Are Protesting
Against Proposed Hasty Legislation.

Fl. S. Bennett, William Heilman, George A.
Cunningham and E. E. Law came up from
Evansville, yesterday, in the interest Of the tax
payers of that city, to prevent hasty legislation
by the General Assembly relating to the pay
ment Of the municipal debt. 1.-THE Democrats
have kept themselves in power in Evansville for
four years." said Mr. Bennett, to a
Journal reporter, ION a declaration in
favor of settling the city debt at fifty cents on
the dollar, while the Republicans have advocated
an honest payment Of every cent of the bonded
obligations. Now that they are about to 60 out
of power the Democrats are trying to work a
new scheme, which is entirely different from the
terms of settlement they have advocated A
few days ago man named Venner from
Boston, came to Evansville as the rep
resentative of the holders of the
citys bonds, and called the Council finance
committee together for conference with him.
As result, Venner and the committee at once
started to Indianapolis to secure legislation to
aid them in carrying out the scheme they had
agreed upon. The people have been given no
information about the matter and are naturally
quite suspicious. They want no special legisla-
it is FOR and whether it is to their interest 1t
is reported that the committee expected to have
their bill enacted in thirty-six hours after their
arrival here We are here to protest against
any such hasty and suspicious proceeding" The
bill offered in behalf of the Council committee,
and the representative of the bondholders pro-
poses an amendment to the Evansville charter,
giving the city authority to extend the period of
its loans to thirty year6.

Mrs. Jesse H. Brown committed suicide ut
O'Clock yesterday morning by hanging herself in
a closet of her home at No. 42l Broadway. Six
months ago Mrs. Brown became an invalid. ard
her condition preyed SO much upon her mind
that che became at times insane. During those
periods she had mania for self-destructon, ard
on several occasions has attempted to take her
life. Last December she was taken to the Gin
cinnati Sanitarium and placed under the treat
ment of Dr. Evarts. He pronounced her
insane. but thought there was chance
for her recovery While she was being
returned to this city on New Years day she
dow. For time she was the guest of the fam
lily of Rev. O. c. McCuloch, and, after she
appeared to be much better, was removed to her
own home again, where she was placed under
the care Of a trained nurse On Monday the
nurse was compelled to leave, and new one
was secured. The change seemed to affect her
some, and her husband spent most of his time
with her On Thursday night ne was caring for
her, and when he thought she was asleep he
also fell asleep. 1t is presumed she
was only feiening sleep, and during the
night she left her bed without awakening her
husband, and going to closet in an adjoining
room, hung herself by twisting half dozen
handkerchiefs, adjusting the moose about her
throat, and hanging the rope on clothes hook.
A few minutes afterward Mr.. Brown missed her
and found her dead but still warm. Physicians
were summoned, with the hope of reviving her
but they pronounced her dead. Mrs Brown
was fifty three years of age, and the mother of
two grown children. Mr.. Brown is the we'll

A romance that has long been hidden has lust
come to light. Thirty eight years ago Calvin

at Jeffersonville, for twenty one years He
served two years, and one cold night in March,
$780, he resolved to escape or die. He had
secretly made tools, and had them hidden in his
cell. When the great bell began tolling the hour
at 8 o'clock he commenced the work
of cutting hole in the wall.
He worked industriousy, and soon
had one cut through, and was in tho corridor
Here another wall three feet thick confronted
him. Nothing daunted he went TO work and in
q couple of hours had cut a hole big enough to
crawl through He then made the startling dis
covery that the hole was at least forty feet from
the ground. While he was considering what had
best DO DONE the guard came along and dscov-
cred him. Before the latter could make an
outcry Lyons sprang. upon him. and being a
powerful man. soon had the official insensible

| to bind. gag and strip the man Of his clothes,
which Lyons hastily donned. Lyons then tore
his bed clothes into strips, with which he made
a rope and lowered himself to the ground.
The steamer Sunfiower was anchored at the
| falls. and being short of hands when Lyons vol
unteered to go to work, they accepted his offer
